Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head green cabbage
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 10.75 oz can condensed tomato soup
  • ⅔ cup water

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully core the cabbage and blanch whole head for 5 minutes. Peel away leaves and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, rice, chopped onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  3. Lay each cabbage leaf flat, place ~2 tablespoons of filling at the base, then fold in sides and roll up gently but firmly.
  4. Pour tomato soup and ⅔ cup water into a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Stir to create a smooth sauce.
  5. Arrange rolls seam-side down in the sauce. Spoon sauce over tops to cover.
  6. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour, until cabbage is tender and flavors meld.
